The progressive substitution of the residual amidic hydrogen in the [Pt{S-S2C2(NR)2H}2] complexes with a MLn+ metal fragment results in the deshielding of platinum nuclei, a red shift of the MLCT absorption maximum, and a decrease in the oxidation potential. Such behavior has been interpreted as a progressive electron shift from platinum to the binucleating ligands, the extent of which depends on the nature of MLn+ metal fragment.

Introduction Heteropolymetallic complexes, in which the electronic communication between metals is propagated via bridging atoms, are of special interest because they can display peculiar photoelectrochemical, electronic, and magnetic properties, and therefore they could be used for molecularbased devices.1 Synthetic strategies to achieve topologically and stereochemically controlled heteropolymetallic systems are based on the use of “metalloligands” (i.e., metal complexes used as ligands).2 These procedures exploit heterotopic ligands already bound to one metal with free coordination sites that can bind a second metal (the same or a different kind of metal). Such ligands allow step-by-step syntheses because of the different reactivities of the various donor sites, which are generally chelating systems. In this context, the oxamato and oximato ligands have been extensively used to generate families of polymetallic compounds via a sequential strategy.3 Another binucleating ligand, 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6dione, has been used as building block for polymetallic * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

Even more interestingly, this effect seems to be highly controllable and tunable as a function of the nature of the peripheral metal fragments. Results and Discussion One of the complexes which appears in this paper, [Pt{{µ-S2C2(NR)2}Pd(η3-allyl)}2], has been already synthesized and its properties have been discussed.7 In particular, it has been found that the synthesis of the quoted complex is stereoselective because this trimetallic complex has been prepared as one of the two possible isomers (the endo isomer). It has been proposed that, once the first allylpalladium moiety enters the platinum precursor [Pt{S-S2C2(NR)2H}2] (R ) isoamyl), 1a (Scheme 2), a back-donation mechanism correlates both the palladium and platinum d orbitals through the NCS system of the binucleating ligand. Thus, the second allylpalladium fragment will be forced to interact with the set of platinum d orbitals in a preferred orientation. One could expect the reactivity of the nitrogen-chelating systems in the precursor [Pt{S-S2C2(NR)2H}2] (R ) isoamyl) (1a in the Scheme 2) to be different from the reactivity of the residual chelating system in bimetallic [Pt{S-S2C2(NR)2H}{µ-S2C2(NR)2}Pd(η3-allyl) κ-N,N-Pd, κ-S,S-Pt], (2a2). Actually, we have successfully synthesized the heterobimetallic compound 2a2 according to Scheme 2, taking advantage of the difference in reactivity between the nitrogen-chelating sites, d N-H‚‚‚Nd of 1a and 2a2. The addition of another allyl palladium fragment to 2a2 produces the trinuclear heterobimetallic species 3a2 (Scheme 2).

We have observed that the resonances are progressively shifted toward lower fields on going from 1a to 3a2. The deshielding of the platinum nucleus, caused by the progressive substitution of a proton in 1a with a metal fragment having total charge +1, indicates that electron density is transferred from the platinum center to peripheral sites in the 2a2 and 3a2 complexes. In other words, such a deshielding may be considered to be a result of the electronic influence exerted by the [Pd(η3-allyl)]+ fragment on the Pt(II) centers, mediated by the binucleating dithiooxamidate. Therefore, we thought it would be interesting to study 195Pt resonance shifts in several families of bi- and trimetallic complexes synthesized as shown in Scheme 2. For the sake of simplicity, we labeled the mononuclear complexes 1, the binuclear compounds 2, and the trinuclear species 3. Letters and subscript numbers indicate the alkyl substituents of the dithiooxamides and the heterometallic fragments, respectively. The type 1 complexes were synthesized following known procedures8 and characterized by elemental and NMR spectral analysis. The type 2 compounds are new. The NMR data are consistent with their molecular formula. In fact, proton spectra of 2an complexes (n ) 1, 2, 3, 5) show two sets of signals for the N-CH2- protons; those belonging to the alkyl arms near the MLn+ fragment are diastereotopic because of the close proximity of the dissymmetrizing MLn+ group and appear as the AB part of an ABX2 system, while the N-CH2- protons belonging to the alkyl arms far from the MLn+ fragments appear in the spectrum as a triplet. When MLn+ is Rh(COD)+ (2a4), it is possible to distinguish between the near and far N-CH2- protons because the signal of the near group is split by coupling with Rh nucleus. Furthermore, the NOESY TP spectra show cross-peaks between the the AB part of the ABX2 system in 2an (n ) 1, 2, 3, 5) or the split triplet in 2a4 and the signals of the proper protons of the Ln ligands in MLn+ fragments (cymene ring protons, terminal CH2 allyl protons, low field COD protons, pyridine H6 in phenylpyridine groups, and methyl protons in C5Me5 rings). All type 3 compounds have the same topology as the known 3a2 complex (i.e., they consist of two MLn+ metal fragments linked to the nitrogen-chelating systems of a platinum(II)-bis-(dialkyl-dithioxamidate) core). Complexes 3an (n ) 1, 2, 3, 5), 3b1 and 3c1 could exist in two isomeric forms: endo/eso (3a2), meso/rac (3a3), cis/trans (3a1, 3b1, 3c1, and 3a5). As described above, 3a2 can be synthesized only as the endo isomer; 3a3 was prepared as an equimolar meso/rac mixture which could not be resolved, and 3a1, 3b1, 3c1, and 3a5 were obtained as cis/trans mixtures in which one of the two isomers appeared to be present as a minor component. Further column chromatography of the isomeric mixtures provided the major isomer in a pure form for 3a1, 3b1, 3c1, and 3a5. We did not obtain X-ray quality crystals of these latter compounds, and as a consequence, their geometry remains uncertain.

It is important to point out that there was very little differences (about 2 ppm) between the platinum shifts of the two isomers and no significant difference between the absorption spectra of the isomeric mixtures and those of the corresponding pure compounds. 195 Pt NMR. We have registered 195Pt NMR spectra for all of the complexes. The observed chemical shifts, expressed in absolute frequency (TMS ) 100 MHz), occur over a range of about 400 ppm, which is large enough to consider 195Pt NMR a sensitive probe of the electronic structure of our mono, bi, and trimetallic complexes. There are several extensive papers on 195Pt chemical shifts. 9-12 Other reports are concerned with 195Pt NMR of platinum complexes containing sulfur ligands,13-15 but to our knowledge, there are no reports which ones refer to dithioxamides either chelated to platinum or bridged between platinum and another metal. The 195Pt NMR results are reported in Table 1. Platinum chemical shifts both in mono- and polynuclear metal complexes depend very little on the nature of alkyl substituent R for a given MLn+ (Table 1). Figure 1 shows 195Pt chemical shifts versus nuclearity for complexes containing the same alkyl substituent (R ) isoamyl) but different heterometallic fragments; it can be seen that each MLn+ fragment shows a specific capacity to attract electrons from platinum. The linear relationships shown in Figure 1 imply that the difference in chemical shift, ∆δ, caused by the linkage of the first MLn+ fragment to one nitrogen-chelating system of the precursor [Pt{S-S2C2(NR)2H}2] has the same value (9) Pregosin, P.

Each straight line correlates the mononuclear species (f) with the bi- and trinuclear heterobimetallic complexes in which the alkyl substituent R is the isoamyl group and the heterometallic fragment MLn+ is [Ru(p-cymene)Cl]+(O), [Rh(C5Me5)Cl]+ (b), [Rh(2-phenylpyridine)2]+ (4), [Pd(η3-allyl)]+ (0), or [Rh(COD)]+ (9).

as that observed by linking a second MLn+ fragment to the residual nitrogen-chelating system of the bimetallic species [Pt{S-S2C2(NR)2H}{µ-S2C2(NR)2}MLn]. In other words, upon coordination of a MLn+ fragment there is an electronic removal from platinum toward MLn+ via the π* systems of the NCS frames in the binucleating dithiooxamide. The observed electronic removal could have been balanced by a π donation from the π system of the dithiooxamide ligand to the empty platinum d orbitals. In such a case, we should have expected the ∆δ value related to the first metalation of precursor 1 to be different from the ∆δ value related to the metalation of the corresponding binuclear complex, 2. Actually, the possibility of a π donation from the bridging dithioxamide to the platinum d orbitals would require a Cd C double bond connecting the two NCS frames, as has already been observed in some dithiolene-platinum(II) complexes.15 A number of X-ray measurements performed on uncoordinated dithioxamides16-18 and their metal complexes 5-8,19,20 have shown that the central C-C bond is always a single bond. The unique exception deals with a tertiary dithioxamide-chelated to an electron-rich metal fragment, in which the ligand is reduced in the dithiolenic form.21 Thus, the S,S-platinum-chelated dithioxamidate cannot behave as a π donor ligand; consequently, each MLn+ fragment produces the same 195Pt ∆δ because the two dithioxamidate ligands do not transmit any electronic effect to each other. As a consequence, the linkage of the MLn+ fragment to the nitrogen-chelating system of the platinum(16) Lanza, S.; Bruno, G.; Monsu` Scolaro, L.; Nicolo`, F.; Rosace, G.

chelated dithioxamidate produces a downfield shift of the 195Pt resonance which is independent of the other chelated dithioxamidates linking a further MLn+ fragment. Electronic spectroscopy. The strong absorption bands in the visible region exhibited by all of the type 1 mononuclear complexes (Table 1, Figure 2) have already been assigned to the Pt(dπ)/S(p) f dithiooxamide (π*) CT transition22 on the basis of both the experimental evidence and the structural and electronic similarities between the Pt(II)-dithiooxamide compounds and the Pt(II)-dithiolate complexes.23,24 In all of the type 1 complexes, the visible absorption maximum is accompanied by a shoulder at a slightly higher energy. This higher-energy shoulder could be attributed to the vibrational progression of the main band. The Pt(dπ)/ S(p) f dithiooxamide (π*) CT transitions in mononuclear complexes warrant further comments: the Pt(II) metal ion provides a large electronic coupling between the two chelating sulfur-containing ligands, as demonstrated in the square-planar d8 complexes of Ni(II), Pd(II), and Pt(II).25,26 (20) Girerd, J.

The HOMO in the type 1 complexes is therefore probably well described as being delocalized on both ligands, receiving a contribution from the Pt(dπ) and all the S(p) orbitals. On the other hand, the 195Pt NMR evidence rules out the possibility of an extended electronic coupling between ligands, and therefore, the molecular LUMO will be centered on the amidic moiety of a single DTO ligand and will not be delocalized on the entire molecule. The lower-energy spectrum in Figure 2 (bold line) refers to a typical symmetrical trinuclear heterobimetallic complex (type 3 compounds). Also, in this case, the absorption bands can be assigned to the Pt(dπ)/S(p) f dithiooxamide (π*) CT transition, and the shoulder can be attributed to the vibrational progression of the main band; the lower energy of the transition is probably the result of the destabilization of the HOMO and the stabilization of LUMO caused by the electron redistribution between the metal and the ligands following the progressive metalation of species 1. The dashed spectrum in Figure 2 refers to the bimetallic complex 2a2; it looks like an unresolved broad band. This absorption band can be attributed to two Pt(dπ)/S(p) f dithiooxamide (π*) CT transitions: one with energy similar to that of the mononuclear species and the other one with energy similar to that of the trinuclear species. As a result, maxima and shoulders overlap and an unresolved band appears in the spectrum. In essence, the value of λmax in the electronic spectra of the type 1, 2, and 3 complexes can be considered to be an estimate of the HOMO-LUMO separation. It is known that the main contribution to the shielding of a heavy metal nucleus, such as 195Pt, should be the paramagnetic term defined by Ramsey,27 which was evaluated for d8 platinum complexes by Dean and Green28 who obtained the following expression σp ) -

In other words, significant straight lines correlate the 195Pt chemical shift versus the weighted mean of the reciprocal transition energies in each family of complexes (1, 2, and 3). The slope of such lines depends on the nature of the MLn+ subunit and shows the redistribution of electrons between the metal and the ligands via the progressive and specific metalation of species 1. In Figure 5, one can see three straight lines with similar slopes

The plot confirms that the chemical shift is independent of the nature of the R substituent and shows that λmax is dependent on R. The sensitivity of the absorption band energy to the substituents of the dithioxamide moiety is in accordance with the MLCT nature of the measured transition. Electrochemistry. Cyclic voltammetry experiments have shown irreversible processes. The oxidation potentials in the type 2 and 3 compounds were less positive, about 70 mV, than the potential of the monometallic precursor 1a (Table 1). These oxidation processes could be the removal of one electron from the HOMO which, in type 2 and 3 compounds, is less stable than the HOMO of the monometallic precursor. Somewhat lower values (0.88 V) were detected in 2a4 and 3a4, where MLn+ is [Rh(COD)]+. According to the coordinated cyclooctadiene behavior,15 the COD π orbitals in [Rh(COD)]+ can overlap the π* system in the NCS fragments of the bridging dithioxamide, in such a way that a further destabilization of the HOMO occurs, and as a consequence, the electron can be removed more easily. The pattern of electrochemical behavior of our mono-, bi-, and trimetallic complexes is in accordance with both the NMR and absorption spectroscopy results. In fact, the metalation of the nitrogen-chelating systems in the binucleating dithioxamides causes an electronic shift from platinum to the SCN system. Such a shift produces destabilization of the HOMO, mainly centered on the sulfur atoms. As a consequence, deshielding of the 195Pt nuclei, lowering of the HOMO-LUMO transition energies, and eventually, lowering of the oxidation potentials will occur.
